Compatibility
Cancer Snake and Gemini Horse

Tommy Chong (5/24/1938, Gemini Tiger), Cheech Marin (7/13/1946, Cancer Dog) : As the duo, "Cheech & Chong", these two comedian/actors enjoyed great success in the 1970s and 1980s, making seven films together and recording eight comedy albums. Cheech has said that their chemistry arose because they were "exactly opposites of each other", and that, "'We were never best friends. We were more like brothers." They had a falling out in the 1980s, reportedly related to creative control and restlessness, but they reconciled in 2008, and have since continued to play shows together. Cheech described: "When we first got back together, there was still a lot of animosity, and it persisted for a while. But eventually it kind of waned. I think when health issues come into play, you do another assessment. [Chong] was sick for a while. He's fine now. But it took awhile to get there."

Kate Magowan (6/1/1975, Gemini Rabbit), John Simm (7/10/1970, Cancer Dog) : The musician/actor and actor have been married since 2004 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Simms was asked once jokingly if there were any similarities with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. He replied: "Only in the fact that he worships her, and she is the glue that holds everything together."

Kate Flannery (6/10/1964, Gemini Dragon), Jane Lynch (7/14/1960, Cancer Rat) : Since 2013, the two actors have toured the US performing musical theater together, in the productions, See Jane Sing, A Swingin’ Little Christmas!, and Two Lost Souls. Lynch has described: "We didn’t bond immediately, but we were in the same group of friends so I knew who [Flannery] was, and she was fun, and we’d be at parties together and do shows together. We weren’t fast friends. But we became closer over the years, and then in 2013 we started doing See Jane Sing together, and we’ve become inseparable."

Gene Wilder (6/11/1933, Gemini Rooster), Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger) : The two actor/filmmakers famously worked together on the films, The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974), and Young Frankenstein (1974). In his memoir, All About Me!: My Remarkable Life in Showbusiness (2021), Brooks recalled a disagreement over Wilder's idea to have Frankenstein and his Monster do a song-and-dance routine: "I thought it was a great idea and very funny, but it was too far out...I insisted it was too silly and would tear the continuity of the movie to pieces. Gene disagreed. He said, 'It’s amazing! It’s proof of how incredible Frankenstein’s creation is.' We fought and we fought. Our tempers rose and we almost got into a fistfight over it. Then Gene calmed me down and he said, 'OK. Do me a favor. Film it and we’ll take a look at it. If it doesn’t work, I promise we’ll throw it out.' I have never been so wrong in my life."

Marsha Garces Williams (6/18/1956, Gemini Monkey), Robin Williams (7/21/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor and film producer/philanthropist were married from 1989 to 2010. They had two children together, and shared custody of another child from Williams' previous marriage. Garces had previously worked as a nanny for Williams' family. Williams' co-star in the show, Mork and Mindy (1978-1982), Pam Dawber, described in 1988: "Marsha is Robin’s anchor. She’s reality. Ground zero. She’s very sane, and that’s what he needs. She’s incredibly loving too. And protective. She knows who is bad for him and who is good, and she helps keep the good relationships going." After Williams died in 2014, Garces released a statement, saying: "My heart is split wide open and scattered over the planet with all of you. Please remember the gentle, loving, generous — and yes, brilliant and funny — man that was Robin Williams. My arms are wrapped around our children as we attempt to grapple with celebrating the man we love, while dealing with this immeasurable loss."

Joshua Jackson (6/11/1978, Gemini Horse), Diane Kruger (7/15/1976, Cancer Dragon) : The two actors were together for ten years from 2006. They have both spoken publicly about their unfortunate first date, with Kruger saying, "I thought [Jackson] might say, 'Let's call it a day. I'll bring you home.' And of course not. He talked about himself for an hour and a half. Nonstop. He took me back to my hotel in his car, which was a piece of s**t. Excuse me, but it was. The door was eaten by his dog, it smelled so bad. If you know Josh, you know he was not the tidiest of guys, so trust me, it was not cute. I swear to God, at the end, I was like 'Should I slap him?'" The pair have remained friendly since their break-up—when Kruger won the Best Actress award at Cannes in 2017, Jackson posted: "Having witnessed the integrity and dedication that you bring to every job, I'm over the moon to see you getting the recognition you deserve."

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger) : The two actors were and remain one of the most famous couples in showbusiness history. They were married from 1990 to 2001, and adopted two children together. Kidman has described: "I was willing to give up everything. I now see that as part of me. I’m willing to do that — I do it when I do a movie too. I’m willing to go, ‘Yeah, bring it on, consume me, intoxicate me.’ I want to feel alive — I want to reel, basically. I was reeling with Tom and I loved it and I would have walked to the end of the earth. That meant giving up a lot of things that were very important to me."

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Gayle King (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : The iconic talk show host and television personality have been close friends since the mid-1970s. When Winfrey interviewed King for the first time in 2020, King described: "The secret to me is trust. I trust you totally, even if I disagree with you, I still trust you. I have this joke with Oprah where people say, I found my best friend with my husband...I say to Oprah, ‘If you ever walked in and caught me with Stedman, you should not be mad, you should take me to the mental institution. Don’t be mad, I need help!’ But I mean, we’re honest with each other and trust each other and actually are very like-minded."

Ron Eldard (2/20/1965, Pisces Snake), Julianna Margulies (6/8/1966, Gemini Horse) : After originally meeting at an acting class in the early 90s, the two actors reunited on the set of ER and were together for over 10 years. Margulies described their background and plans to work together in 2002: "Ron and I had met in acting class in 1991. We were great friends. Ron has seen me at my worst and most dejected...Doing movies together is a no-brainer, but the thought of acting opposite Ron on stage is intimidating...He's so breathtaking on stage, but I want to give it a try. Ron says he wants to direct me in a play."

Linda McCartney (9/24/1941, Libra Snake), Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse) : The musician and photographer were married from 1969 until Linda McCartney's death in 1998. They adopted Linda's child from a previous relationship and had three children together. They also played together in the band Wings. McCartney has described: "We were very up and down, quite funky compared to the eventual image of '25 years of married bliss! Aren't they lucky for people in showbiz?' But we are. You get this picture of us swanning along in a little rowboat managing to avoid the white water, but we were right in the middle of that white water, man, so it's even more miraculous that we made it. But we did."

Dina Eastwood (7/11/1965, Cancer Snake), Clint Eastwood (5/31/1930, Gemini Horse) : The celebrated actor/director and news anchor were married between 1996 and 2014. In a 2007 interview, Dina Eastwood described: "Being married to Clint is almost a full-time job, just trying to keep up with him...Breaks are great for every marriage. The longest we go [apart] is maybe 10 days. When you travel with Clint, it’s a one-week trip and three cities. He works from the second we arrive until the second we leave... I love that he’s so conscientious about nature...He’s one of those people who takes bugs outside....I wonder if it’s because he gets so much attention from humans, and I think he’s self-conscious about getting so much attention, that I wonder if he fixates on animals because he gets to give all the attention."

Daniel Radcliffe (7/23/1989, Leo Snake), Emma Watson (4/15/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors grew up together filming the Harry Potter series of films, and have compared their relationship to close siblings. Radcliffe described: "Oh, God. We used to argue about everything. Religion. Politics. I remember one of the big arguments we had on the fourth film – [Watson and I] didn’t speak to each other for a couple of days – was about… She was arguing about the Latin language, that nobody knows what it sounds like, what a Latin accent should be. And I was like, 'Yeah, but it’s still spoken a lot in the Catholic church.'...[It] got totally out of hand. She was furious; I was livid. I certainly would advise anyone, if you’re going to debate with her, know your [expletive."

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Edie Brickell (3/10/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two musicians wed in 1992 and have three children together. Brickell has described how she saw Simon watching her while she performed on Saturday Night Live: "Even though I'd performed the song hundreds of times in clubs, he made me forget how the song went when I looked at him. We can show the kids the tape and say, 'Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'"

Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake), Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse) : The two comedians have famously been friends for decades. During a 2011 HBO comedy special, they debated how much new material comedians should use in their live shows. Rock said: "See, this is the eternal argument between [Seinfeld] and I. We've been having this discussion for literally our whole relationship...I like a whole new show...It's a completely new body of work. And that's the way I look at it. Here's the new stuff." Seinfeld countered: "When I go see somebody work, I don't want to see your new hour...I want to see the act... Every year I get rid of, I don't know, 10 or 20% percent and I add...So, every five years or four years... I don't know. I don't really keep track of it. But I do feel like there are those core things [that should be maintained over time]."
